6/22    Anyone know what kinds of Internet options are available for
        residents of Santa Clara?  DSL? Cable modem?  Prices?  Advantages?
        Whom should I contact for info?  I'm out of the loop, I've been
        away... (BTW, cable modems are available in Paris).  Thnx, cathyg
        \_ I found the sales people at tci/athome are stupid beyond belief.  A
           week later they still can't tell me I can get hooked up even though
           they have my neighbor's address (8 feet away on the same cable line)
           as cable mode-ready.  My favorite part was "No, we can't give you
           as cable modem-ready.  My favorite part was "No, we can't give you
           the customer service number because you're not a customer!" when I've
           been fighting with them to *become* a customer.  It's a bad sign for
           the way the rest of the company runs but since they won't *let* me
           become a customer, I can't say for certain that that's true. ;-)
           I still can't get over the s00per sekret cust0mer ser\/ice number.
           \_ Perhaps a sign that you should take your business elsewhere
              rather than keep pounding your head against the wall?
                \_ DSL unavailable.  Satellite unavailable.  Alternative
                   cable modem unavailable.  I'd love to get high speed access
                   from home without this bullshit.  I'm totally open to any
                   reasonable and most unreasonable suggestions.  Work is
                   paying for this so price is flexible but must be
           I still can't get over the s00per sekret cust0mer ser\/ice number.
                   justifiable.

4/02    We use Perforce at work for revision control. It seems to work okay.
        Lately, a lot of the newer developers are saying that Perforce
        sucks and we should switch to Mercurial or Git. I have done some
        searching on the Internet and some others have this opinion. Added
        advantage is that Mercurial and Git are free. However, there would
        be some work to switch for the sysadmins and the developers.

4/26    I see that soda has an ipv6 address but ipv6 traffic from this box
        doesn't actually work (ping6 <DEAD>ipv6.google.com<DEAD>, ping6 http://www.v6.facebook.com
        Is this expected to work?
        \_ Soda doesn't have a real IPv6 address.  The IPv6 addresses you see
           in ifconfig are just link-local addresses; any IPv6-capable machine
           will autogenerate these, whether or not it's connected to an IPv6
